Books vs. Movies

It depends on what type of person you are if you like movies over books or the opposite. I always feel that when you read a book first and then see the movie base on the book you are let down. The characters look so much different from your imagination. They leave out that smallest of detail that only you would notice that seems to bug you the whole movie. Now if you do it the opposite your hopes aren't really given up you know what the characters look like so if it is a series you can picture them that way so it doesn't bug you.

Most movies do a great job at capturing a big book and making it into a movie. I think books give you a better sense of what is going on because you are allowed to read at your pace and go back and reread. In movies there is only one pace moving forward. Of course if you rent it you can rewind but most of the time you won't go back and check what you were confused about. I think a book that does a great job in the plots of the movies are Harry Potter books. They tend to be long but are still able in making the plot pretty close. The problem people face is they don't like to see something that much over two hours. And if they intend to read a book it mioght take longer. I think depending if you like a book or movie better depends on your patience.
